Some films open big and fade fast. Others open big and just keep grinding. Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups belongs firmly in the second camp, and the box office collection numbers rolling in this week prove it wasn’t just hype built on a four-year wait.

Toxic Box Office Collection: The Day-Wise Numbers So Far
Here’s how the film has performed through its crucial first week in India:
| Day | Collection | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Day 5 | ₹27.7 Cr | Weekend high |
| Day 6 (Monday) | ₹8.96–9.0 Cr | 65.5% drop from Sunday |
| Day 7 (Tuesday) | ₹5.95 Cr+ (live) | Tracking at 13.6% occupancy |
| 7-Day Total | ₹247–266 Cr | Across 1,000+ cities nationwide |
The film has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark worldwide, with trade watchers projecting the India net could edge toward ₹250 crore as it heads into its second week, per The Times of India’s box office tracker.
Why the Numbers Matter
Toxic isn’t a small bet. Reported to be among the most expensive Indian films ever made, directed by Geetu Mohandas and led by Yash in a dual role, the film had to clear a high bar just to break even. Its cast — Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria, and Rukmini Vasanth — gave it a genuinely pan-Indian pull, and the opening weekend numbers reflected that scale. The steep midweek drop is typical for big-budget action dramas once the festival crowd thins out, but a Day 7 number still above ₹5 crore signals the film retains solid legs compared to recent Kannada releases.
For context, Yash’s last outing, KGF: Chapter 2, remains one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, so comparisons were inevitable the moment Toxic was announced. Whether it gets there is still an open question, but the current trajectory suggests a strong second week is very much on the cards.
